Chapter 5 The Assassin Appears (Sixth)

"You are so lucky. My eighth aunt has been in charge of this female prison cell for decades, but I have never seen you like this. She has committed such a great crime and offended the Marquis. She can still enjoy such treatment. It's really strange!" The eighth aunt shook her head since ancient times and said, "Who has never received the benefits of Li Yongzuo, the Marquis of Ruofengcheng, otherwise the eighth aunt would not have arranged Magu to that cell. But suddenly the boss has a life, and no matter how much money is, it is not important to have a job. Besides, if you keep your job, you don't have any money, right?"

"Magu, go in, this is your new cell!" The eighth aunt pushed Magu into another cell. Magu looked around and found that it was much cleaner than the one just now. The grass on the ground was thicker, and the smell of mold was not that heavy, but it was still a little choking.

"Get this is your quilt!" Bagu brought over a quilt with exposed cotton and threw it in. He said coldly, "You must not ignore the orders of your boss, but you must not ignore the money you collect. Even if you smell it, you can reply. What kind of quilt is gone in the middle of the night?"

"I'll get you a few steamed buns later, and you can just eat it." Bagu swayed her waist, which made the man faint, and hummed and said nothing.

After a while, a female jailer brought in three cold steamed buns and a bowl of cold water, and sent them directly from outside. He rushed to Magu with a expressionless face and said, "Eat!", then turned around and locked the iron door outside and went out with a bang.

Magu didn't have the heart to eat this. Now she is not only worried about herself, but also about her group of subordinates and beloved lover Brother Wu. She was thinking that Brother Wu was afraid that she would be unable to protect herself at this time. Ruofengcheng Hou could play with all the officials in the court in the clapping, pointing to a deer as a horse, turning black and white. What should I do if Brother Wu had a few shortcomings?

"Brother Wu, I'm the one who has implicated you!" Magu fell on the straw mat yesterday and sobbed in a low voice. The miserable cry made the listener sad and the listener shed tears.

I don’t know how many times I cried, but the closed iron door outside the cell was opened again, and Bagu’s harsh voice sounded again: “Magu, someone is here to see you!”

Xu Yingyuan came in first, took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels, and handed it to the eighth aunt, saying, "Don't let anyone else come in and disturb me!"

As soon as he saw the silver silver, Bagu's dead face suddenly seemed to bloom and said, "Don't worry, even a fly can't fly in for an hour."

"Then why don't you go out quickly!" Xu Yingyuan looked at Bagu in disgust.

"Go out, go out, little one will go out now!" Bagu happily took the silver ingot into his arms and pulled it to the iron gate and went out.

Zhu Yinglong stood on the side with an exquisite food box and looked at all what Xu Yingyuan did. If he hadn't borrowed a corpse from later generations, perhaps Emperor Chongzhen would never know that there was such a thing in his life when he went to prison to visit.

"I'm not at ease with that female prisoner." Zhu Yinglong had a private word to tell Ma Gu, so he naturally needed to send Xu Yingyuan away.

Zhu Yinglong walked into the cell where Magu lived with a food box. He smelled of mold coming towards him. He frowned. Looking at the furnishings in the prison, there was a layer of grass on the ground, a broken straw mat, two broken quilts, and there was not even a convenient utensil. Is this still the place where people live? Zhu Yinglong had a urge to call He Tengjiao over and scold him. If the prisons in the Ming Dynasty looked like this, it would be no wonder that the people regarded the government as tigers and wolves.

Magu sat quietly on the straw mat, burying his head on his knees, and his whole body seemed even weak and helpless. Thinking about it, she was also a daughter who was suddenly detained in such a place for no reason and received such inhuman treatment, anyone would be wronged, especially since her family and parents were not in a foreign land. Even though Magu was wise and wise, as the saying goes, a strong dragon would not suppress a local snake. If Fengcheng Hou was a local snake, Magu was just a beautiful phoenix. She was smart and noble, but she did not have the power of a dragon, so she could not suppress a local snake at all. Fortunately, she met Zhu Yinglong that night, otherwise she would have been really ruined.

Zhu Yinglong gently put down the food box. He had not slept for the whole night last night. He was worried that Magu would be wronged in prison. He ordered the imperial kitchen to cook some delicious food early in the morning, so he rushed over with Xu Yingyuan. Seeing Magu's appearance, he felt so distressed that he forced a smile to Magu's ear and whispered: "Baby, Brother Wu is here to see you!"

When Ma Gu heard this, because it was an hallucination, the recognition in his heart, and smelled the familiar smell, Ma Gu looked up in surprise, saw the face that had been missing for a night, and immediately threw herself into Zhu Yinglong's arms with grievance and started crying.

"Be good, don't worry, Brother Wu will definitely save you!" Zhu Yinglong didn't know what to say except for this sentence? There are seven days left. If Ma Gu really wants to stay in such an environment for seven days, he will be reluctant to leave. If he exposes his identity, he will expose his identity. We will also be angry and leave a name for the beauty in history.

"Brother Wu, I'm so scared, I'm so afraid that I won't see you again!" Maguyi sobbed in Zhu Yinglong's arms. She now realized that she had regarded this man she liked as her backbone. Why was she so confused and helpless when he was not by her side? She couldn't even use her 100% wisdom. Last night, what she thought about was not her own safety, but this man who made her fall in love with her.

"No, Brother Wu wants to marry you and then grow old until old!" Zhu Yinglong sat down naturally, hugged Magu tightly in his arms, and said tenderly.

After Zhu Yinglong said this, Magu's pale face suddenly turned red with shyness, and her heart suddenly felt a little sweet. She stopped crying, and her expression became a little obsessed.

"By the way, Brother Wu is afraid that you will not eat well here, so he brought you some food and you will compensate you." Seeing the situation in the prison, Zhu Yinglong was even more difficult to swallow than what he had eaten. He hurriedly reached out to get the food box beside him, opened the lid, and a sweet smell suddenly floated out.

Zhu Yinglong took them out one by one. These were special pastries made by the palace secret recipes, and only the emperor and the concubines in the harem had the opportunity to eat them. The method was exquisite and the process was complicated. A stack of crystal osmanthus cakes required eighteen steps. Each one should not make mistakes, otherwise it would not have the unique taste. Of course, these things are good, but the cost of a plate is equivalent to the rice money of an ordinary family for half a month. If it were normal, Zhu Yinglong himself would never let the imperial kitchen make it. Now in the first month, he made a batch of imperial kitchens. One was for the harem to taste, and it was rare to eat it in a year. Secondly, he was rewarded to some ministers, so this thing should not be too shabby. The rest was brought to Zhu Yinglong.

"It seems!" Ma Gu Xiu thrust her nose and felt her stomach empty. She cried twice, and her appetite seduced the tempting fragrance.

"Are you hungry?" Zhu Yinglong heard Ma Gu's two whistles, chuckled, took a piece of crystal osmanthus cake, and sent it to Ma Gu's mouth and said, "Come on, open your mouth, Brother Wu feed you."

Ma Gu's face suddenly turned red, and she was fed by a man and tried to feed the medicine. It didn't matter if she had eaten. She slowly opened her cherry lips and sent the crystal crystal osmanthus cake in. She was immediately full of sweetness. After chewing it, she was delicate and tender, and it was not touched at all. After swallowing it, there was still a fragrance of osmanthus on her teeth and cheeks, which would not dissipate for a long time, and the breath she exhaled had a faint fragrance of osmanthus.

One of them had a comfortable meal and the other was happy to feed. Soon a plate of crystal osmanthus cake came to an end. Then they turned to other snacks, and eight plates. In addition to a small amount of Magu who acted like a spoiled person, they all entered her belly. Zhu Yinglong even suspected that she had not eaten several meals in a row when she was at home, and then she ate a lot. Otherwise, how did she practice her belly?

One hour is far from enough for a man and a woman in love. Zhu Yinglong wished he could spend time with Magu in this prison. However, the time has come. The rules in the prison are subject to special officials patrol every morning, and Zhu Yinglong could only take Xu Yingyuan to leave sadly.

Zhu Yinglong, who left Dali Temple Prison, suddenly had a smile on his face, and was replaced by a gloomy and terrifying face. He was just thinking that Jiangnan would be pacified and the court reform started from that aspect. Now he had the answer, so he went to the prison administration. Although he only saw one side, this was still a female prison cell. If he was a male prison, he might be like. First, the yamen has its own cell, each with its own territory, who was imprisoned, how many years had he been imprisoned, and what crimes had been committed. God knows, so the first thing to do in reforming the officialdom is the prison administration, unified construction of large prisons and labor reform farms, unified detention and concentration of labor reform prisoners, demolish all prisons in each government office, leaving only police stations and other detention rooms, etc. This is a big systematic project. If this is done, it will probably be another huge earthquake in the officialdom!

Not long after I got on the carriage, I heard Xu Yingyuan say, "Master, someone is following our carriage?"

"You can do such a small matter, don't bother me!" Zhu Yinglong was worried about Ma Gu's treatment in prison, so he didn't have the heart to listen to such trivial matters.

"Wow—" The carriage suddenly stopped.

"What happened?" Zhu Yinglong was caught off guard and almost fell from his position. It seemed that he had not forgotten anything when he designed the carriage, but he just forgot it completely.

"Young Master, the people from Ruofengcheng Hou's Mansion blocked our way and said they wanted to invite you to the mansion!" Xu Yingyuan's anxious voice came in.

Zhu Yinglong looked out at the curtains on both sides of the carriage and looked out. Dozens of servants with tiger backs and bear waists stood on both sides, surrounding his carriages. Many ordinary people were frightened and ran away.

"This Li Yongzuo is too brave!" Zhu Yinglong was so angry that he was full of fire. He forced himself to visit the mansion on the street. What's the difference between ignoring the king's law and catching people casually?

"Don't pay attention to them and rush over!" Zhu Yinglong shouted coldly at Xu Yingyuan. He didn't believe it anymore. A small Marquis of Ruofeng City could keep himself with dozens of servants.

"Young Master, you're sitting firm!" After Xu Yingyuan got the order, he raised his horse's whip and thrust it on the horse's butt with a bang. The horse hurt, he pulled up the carriage and ran forward.

"Go!" The older man shouted loudly, and dozens of servants rushed over and pounced on the carriage that Zhu Yinglong was riding. However, they did not expect that a dozen men in green-clothed clothes, holding steel knives, all of whom were emitting a sharp murderous aura, protected the carriage and shouted in unison: "Whoever dares to come forward, kill them!"

The servants of the Hou Mansion bully the common people on weekdays. When did they see the power of the situation? The bright blades seemed to be prepared for their necks. Those who are brave can calm down a little, and those who are timid start to look around and find a way out.

"The Marquis's Mansion is doing business, and the idle people are dispersed!" Dai Xiaolou was wearing a blue outfit today. If the matter is done today, the Marquis recommends him to be promoted to deputy general. In two years, it will be fine. Therefore, he bet on his future. In his opinion, if this surname is "Wu" is capable, can the little girl named "Ma" still stay in the broken prison of Dali Temple? The Marquis is safe and sound. He feels that he is following the right person, and of course he is trying to show off.

The carriage was stopped, and on the streets of Beijing, Dai Xiaolou used a trick to lead the patrol officers and soldiers of the streets and several connected streets away, in order to make things easier.

Dai Xiaolou saw that the sixteen people who fell from the sky were all good players, and they were like one to block ten, but he was not at a loss. Although they were all wearing the clothes of the Marquis’ servants, they were real veterans who had fought on the battlefield, and dozens of them were dealing with more than a dozen. He still had this confidence.

"My surname is 'Wu', my marquis knows that you have a way and a rich man, but this world is not a world where you can be rampant with money and a way. You should just follow us obediently!" Dai Xiaolou smiled proudly.

Zhu Yinglong was furious. After being emperor for so long, no one dared to talk to him like this. He was so brave that he forced himself to suppress his anger and sneered: "Can you, a small slave in the Marquis's Mansion, invite me to touch me?"

"If you don't want to move, I'm going to see you!" Dai Xiaolou's face changed slightly. He was scolded as a slave of the Marquis's Mansion. How could he not be angry?

Dai Xiaolou prepared two plans. One was to bring Wufu and his car into the military camp and behead him for trespassing into the military camp with a tyrant and intent. The other was Wufu's riots in the Marquis' Mansion, trying to kill the Marquis, but was killed by the Marquis' counterattack. Both of them were in accordance with the laws and regulations of the court, and they destroyed all the personal and physical evidence afterwards, clean and neatly. Moreover, even if the people testified that the Marquis' Mansion forced the mansion to invite him, it was nothing. Instead, it proved that Wufu was dissatisfied with the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to kill the Marquis' Mansion. There was also a witness from Zhou Wenyuan. As long as the play was played well, there was no flaw, and the evidence was gone, everything would be as he said.

The murder plan of Li Yongzuo and Dai Xiaolou was not exquisite. They both knew that if Wu Fu suddenly died at this time, he would not be able to escape, so he did the opposite, so he changed the assassination to open killing, and the killing was reasonable and well-founded. In this way, even the court knew that the person was killed by him, there was no way to deal with him. For this reason, Dai Xiaolou carefully designed two plans. Even Lan Lin, who was promoting the conspiracy, had to admire that Dai Xiaolou was indeed a talent for conspiracy.

"Go!" Dai Xiaolou sneered. If he didn't bring people back today, wouldn't his wisdom in this life be ruined?

Overestimating himself and underestimating the enemy is the most fatal mistake. Dai Xiaolou was patronizing his exquisitely designed layout, but ignored the fact that his opponent was a mysterious figure. He had no idea how much power he had and how powerful he had. He always had because there was no more power than his marquis in this world. It was this thought that he had embarked on a path of no return!

Zhu Yinglong's sixteen big inner guards are not only loyal, but also have the best martial arts skills. If they are put on the battlefield, they may not be as good as veterans who have experienced many battles. However, when it comes to fighting alone, ten veterans on the battlefield may not be their opponents. Therefore, this battle was carried out under a completely asymmetry.

Dai Xiaolou was stunned for his eyes. He watched his people fall down one by one, and the other party seemed to be injured. Moreover, Xu Yingyuan, who was driving the car, seemed to be watching a show, and he didn't even look at him at all.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up slowly, and a long steel arrow with a sound of breaking through the air pointed directly at the carriage Zhu Yinglong was riding.

Xu Yingyuan was shocked and his heart was shattered. The arrow was shot from the side. No matter how fast Xu Yingyuan was, he could not turn around and block the arrow!

Zhu Yinglong, who was sitting in the carriage, was also frightened by the sudden change. He had no time to think about why he chose such a great opportunity to assassinate again. What he was worried about was whether the thickened glass on the window could block the arrow.

With a loud "bang", the glass broke, but the arrow made the glass knock away. The assassin probably didn't expect that the arrow with such confidence would actually knock it away out of thin air at a distance of three feet before the assassination object. What's going on? Could it be that the true emperor could have the protection of the gods?

"Catch the assassin!" Xu Yingyuan screamed, and four guards suddenly realized, and rushed towards the direction of the arrow just now. In the panic, Dai Xiaolou's figure disappeared.

Three times, three times. The first time someone died for him. The second time, Zhou Huaian blocked an arrow for him and was seriously injured and could not move. The third time, fortunately, there was this stabbing carriage, otherwise he would have really told me that Zhu Yinglong was unstoppable and issued a strict order that the assassin must be caught within three days.

There is also the Marquis of Ruofengcheng Li Yongzuo who trampled on the national law one after another. Look at the current movement, it is clearly just to die. Can such a person be kept?
